CONCATENATE Formula Help

First, I had the following formula to return the number of tasks marked done over the total number of tasks (i.e., 10 / 50 complete) , then realized Smartsheet did not support the CONCATENATE function.

=CONCATENATE(COUNTA($[Done]$2:$[Done]$51) "/" COUNTA($[Task Name]$2:$[Task Name]$51)," completed ")

So, then, I tried the following formula, and received a Missing or Invalid Parameters error message. Any ideas or help with my formula?

=(COUNTA($[Done]$2:$[Done]$51) + "/" + COUNTA($[Task Name]$2:$[Task Name]$51)," completed ")

Hi Lisa,

try this:

=(COUNT($Done$2:$Done$5) + "/" + COUNT($[Task Name]$2:$[Task Name]$5) + " completed ")

It works. Thank you so much, Dietrich! You made my day.

I also noticed I had the column names reversed. Final formula below

=(COUNT($[Task Name]$2:$[Task Name]$300) + " / " + COUNT($Done$2:$Done$300) + " completed ")

Actually, a few edits. The Done column is a checkbox column, so I only want the formula to count the number of boxes checked

=COUNTIF($Done$2:$Done$284, 1) + " / " + (COUNT($[Task Name]$2:$[Task Name]$284) + " completed ")
